Henri Toivonen's Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
The life of the late, great Henri Toivonen was also honoured at Race Retro, with a large collection of cars from his rallying career. The highlight was the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus that Toivonen drove to victory in the 1980 Lombard RAC Rally.
At 24 years old, Toivonen was (then) the youngest person ever to win a world rally event and affectively ended the dominance of the Ford Escort by beating them with his Talbot.
